2005 Kuwait: The franchise allowing women to vote passed in 2005. Women vote for Parliament members for first time in 2007.

The right to be elected is a second step. Women did not gain that right until 1952 in Greece, 1961 in El Salvador, 1974 in Jordan. Although women held office in Arizona for some time, only in 1988 did voters there remove a state requirement that their officeholders be male.
